if you're "feeling lowbrow," get the fish and chips. while you may be the only one eating with your hands, you'll be loving it, not to mention paying half!
Kent GeorgiApril 30, 2014If you like Vodka I suggest getting the "Moscow Mule" not only does it taste great, it comes in a copper cup
Joanne C.November 10, 2011Caramelized lobster, Brie fondue, & mussels vindaloo. Mmmm. Have them bring out fondue with the mussels so you have the most bread to dip in both. Great with a beer.
The Gage Old Fashioned is awesome (if unorthodox.) And the elk poutine is amazing. As is the escargot risotto. And the regular burger. And the benedict and grits at brunch...I have a problem.
Yellowtail Ceviche (avocado, cucumber, serrano aguachile, bunuelo crisp)
Steve FarrJuly 27, 2021The food and atmosphere was good. Had the burger, which was tasty, not as fantastic as I had heard, but it was fine! 😎
Jason NewbergJuly 15, 2015One of the best wagyu ribeye I've ever had. Apparently I was raving about the mint ice cream as well...
Veg WiseJune 5, 2017Lively loud bar close to everything with cocktail specials in honor of u2 (this week)!
Everything is delicious and fresh, everything can be modified for Special requests! My favorite!
Nelson V. GuevaraSeptember 22, 2018Venison burger is great. Ought to try it! Juicy, flavorful, mild game taste. Great burger!!
Ms HeleneNovember 10, 2018Grilled calamari with chili, potato whip and pickled onions $16. Skip oily brussel sprouts $9.
Alejandra JaquesMarch 28, 2013I love the fish and chips!!! They was magnifique!! With a red wine, its a really nice place to eat and the service ar the bar was fabulous!!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleMarch 3, 2013Clubby leather booths and celadon-tiled columns add decorum to this large, bustling space serving British and international pub grub. – Green Guide Editor
The poutine is decadent. They also serve an incredible cheese plate, it's listed on the dessert menu and can be ordered as an appetizer or with drinks.- Egor HomakovJune 20, 2014Had a burger, scotch egg and some cider. I'm completely satisfied. Lovely view from outside tables btw.

Therese Necio-OrtegaFebruary 22, 2010It is restaurant week in Chicago and The Gage has some delectable offerings that are truly scrumptious. Try the Poutine, the Spick Black Bean Soup and their Chicken. Don't forget the gourmet donout ho
Rossella ZiniAugust 26, 2012Excellent place for gourmet burgers lovers, excellent service and attention, very wide selection of draft beers, loved it
MaegsJune 27, 2014Get a bunch of pub items and starters to share. My friend and I shared 6 small plates and had plenty leftover.
Caryn ThorSeptember 28, 2013Really delicious bloody Mary's and their smoked salmon bagel platter was probably the best I have had. Come for brunch.
mark silvaAugust 24, 2011Good beer selection. If Olivia's on tap you must try. Funky Saison that will great w/gastropub Faire.- Katie PritscherJanuary 12, 2017Everything is good here!!! The menu, the food, the service, and the atmosphere!!!
- Nelson V. GuevaraSeptember 22, 2018Excellent cocktails! Gotta try that Viking Negroni, wow, very well mixed.
Lyz HMay 20, 2013The rare Venison burger was fantastic, so was the regular burger, the fish and chips, and the poutine as well. By far the best restaurant we went to while in Chicago! It's a must when visiting.
Joseph BradleyAugust 8, 2014The green bean app. I can't tell you how good it really is. The perfect balance of bacon and lemon.
Nada AlshamiAugust 20, 2017The corned beef hash and the vension burger are to die for... Couldn't stop eating!
Joseph B.August 26, 2014Really unique menu options based around American wild game. Good craft beer list too.
Rob RawlinsonMarch 24, 2017V. disappointing venison burger. Ate 1/4 before not being able to continue. Over cooked (Not medium-rare) and simply poor quality meat. Taste like Walmart value mince. a lovely atmosphere and bar!- Port Wine Sangaree (fortified wine, lemon, orange, rosemary, bay, nutmeg)
- Jamón Ibérico (quince preserves, violet mustard, toasted sourdough)
Adam ChestertonJuly 11, 2013Was in for lunch and tried the Scotch Egg as an appetizer - was great and really authentic, a must try!
Better than your avg irish bar food. Corn beef and cabbage, Scotch eggs, reuben. Also great soups and cheese plates.
- Neal JainApril 15, 2017And the fish and chips are really crispy and stay crispy even with a lot of malt vinegar.
Cate C.December 3, 2010Had a great chicken salad (with curry!) and the butternut squash soup was divine. Also would highly recommend the Irish Apple Cider, it'll warm you right up!
Alyssa NeyMarch 2, 2014Everything is good here. Especially recommend the venison burger. Great beer list
Jared HatchFebruary 4, 2011If you're having #SundayFunDay with luxury beer - the scotch egg, duck fat nuts, fried chicken livers, and elk ragout poutine are great greasy options.
